¶Plato philosophus praecepit. why is philosophus the nominatiue case? For generally al wordes ī one 〈◊〉〈◊〉, that standeth both other as the sufferer, or the doe••, or to whom any thynge groweth vnto, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 or hurt, or be both as named, or both as in∣••••••ument, or price, or both as measure or tyme, or
both as place, whether any verbe of beynge or na∣myng come betwene them or no, they must be put in one case, though they vary in gendre and nōbre••. as Homerus fons poetarum auditur a discipulo puero.
Erat ingratus mihi preceptori.
Petrus vocabatur Cephas.
Percussit fuste grauitelo.
Emi centum aureis magna summa.
Studui viginti annos magnam partem virae.
Habitat in vrbe Roma.
And whan there cometh no verbe betwene the wor∣des so construed, as in the exmamples nowe sayd, be it called the first appositiue. And the other that was spoken of in the rudimentis, the secunde.
Otherwyse thus. The casuall worde, that in one clause standeth as one thyng, with an other casuall worde, must be put in one case with it, whether any verbe come betwene them or no. Examples whan a verbe cometh bitwene. as Tu es ciuis, or haeres, or aeger.
Ego vocor Thomas.
Tu sedes incuruus.
Ille discit inuitus.
Examples, where no verbe cometh bitwene.
Lilius praeceptor. Taurus mons. Thamesis flumen.
Londinum vrbs.
we shall knowe whan any suche worde standeth as one thynge, with the casuall worde before, by this question, who or what. for if it answere to that que∣stion, set after the worde before, it standeth as one thynge. Examples, where a verbe cometh bitwene, as in these clauses. Thou art a citezin, or thou art the heyre, or thou art sicke. These wordes, a citezī, the heyre, and sicke, stande as one thynge with the noīatyue, that goeth before the verbe, for bycause they answere to this question, who or what, set after 〈2 pages duplicate〉〈2 pages duplicate〉
the no••atiue and the verbe. Thus. Thou art. what? Thou art a citezin, or the heyre, or sicke.
••xample, whan no verbe cometh betwene. as in these clauses.
Lily the maister. London the cite. these wordes mai¦ster and cite, stande as one thynge with the casuall wordes that goeth before, for bicause they answere ••he qu••stion, who or what, set after the wordes that go before. as Lily what? Lily the maister.
••ondon what? London the cite.
